CHAPTER 1. New Party Qualifications [5000 - 5006] Â Â ( Chapter 1 enacted by Stats. 1994, Ch. 920, Sec. 2. )

(b) Filing formal notice with the Secretary of State that the political body has organized, elected temporary officers, and declared an intent to qualify a political party pursuant to either Section 5100 or 5151, but not both.
